From Adolf Houssaye's Paris Letter.
Some interest has been excited by the appear
ance OF young lady who claims to be . daughter
Of List. Her mother, she says. was and IL men,
Der Of one Of the reigning families Of Europe in
deed, one OF the most eminent royalties Her birth
was kept secret Of course, to avoid scandal, and
she was brought up in ignorance Of her parentage.
She was however treated almost like q young
princess. When List died she was visited one
night secretly by the royal lady in question, who
first obtained from her an oath Of secrecy, and
then told her the story OF her birth. The young
lady still conceas the name OF her oiher, who is
living, but feels under no obligation to keep the
oath so Tar her dead father is concerned She is
q handsome girl, with Liszts cast OF features and
wi an apparently native talent for music. She
has received a handsome fortune from her mother,
and so will not be dependent upon her own exer-
great that she will give series OF pubic piano
forte recltals, and perhaps make concert tour of
the world

Rev. MIR. Pen,ecost Resigns.

HIS ADDRESS ON LEAVING HIS NEWARK CHARGE
Al Newark, N. j., Rev. Hugh f. Pentecost yes
terd y morning resigned his position as pastor Of
the Belleville Avenue Congregational church. His
prominence In the labor movement and his candi-
dacy for mayor OF the city on that ticket at the
last charter election, well as his utterances In
regard to the Chicago anarchists had estranged
MIN from some members or his congregation. In
M, address yesterday 10 his congregation he said
there would have been no trouble between them
and himself on account OF his theological opinions
'Our strained relations are really the result or my
associations with those who are engaged In the
work or social reform. II had never advocated
the views OF Henry George in this pulpit; II had
never spoken in the New York Academy OF Music
before the Anti-PoVerty Society on sunday even
ingo; II had never entered politics at the last
charter election; II there had never been any ap-
plause In this church; II had not called the nom
church-goers who have thronged this building
children OF God with us; II had never exposed
what Is to Inc the fault and wickedness OF the
church In her unfaithfuiness TO these people, and
hence departure from the teachings and practice
OF Jesus; II had not done these things we
should Still be gong along peacefully together.
But these things, to which must be added the last
straw which broke the camel's back, my uphold
Ing the Chicago anarchists, brought about a
church meeting which resulted In my favor, al
though the minority Was strong and positive. In
looking over this have nothing to regret"

TROOPS IN PURSUIT OF THE NUMEROUS MEyICA
CUIEETAN

telegram from Nogales, A. T., December 10,
says: Frequent raids and murders by the noto-
rious Mexican bandit, Bernal, are causing In
creased alarm. The Mexican government Is max
ing strenuous Efforts to capture Bernal and his
little army. Almost all the troops OF the States OF
sonora and S1naloa and also large bodies OF citi-
zenS are In the field. The troops surprised the
bandit camp, but were forced TO retreat. Another
attack was made, when several bandits were killed
and the rest ned. The Federal loss was two killed
and three wounded. 1t Is Thought that the bandit
chler Is not now with his forces. but In hiding,
though still directing the movements OF his men.
III Is believed that the troops have now helged In
most or his men, and a report or desperate battle
Is hourly expected. Nearly the whole or sonora is
up In arms and much excitement prevails. 1t is
estimated that BernaPs army has killed nearly
1000 people during the last year and destroyed
more than one hundred towns.

ters or the greatest magnitude occurred on this

boy OF acId, and the wreck Of the wheat laden
steamer Osceola In Lake Huron, each representing
loss OF over 500 900. One VI the largest schoOn-
ers on the lakes was the Polynesia, when went
